Off to work...pounding head and leftover nightmares and all....I think I need that gigantic coffee cup.

Hope you all have a good day

baby....we'll get there...

that just sucks Jo...there is a theory that when stupid reversals and inconveniencs and delays pile up it is because the universe is about to do something stupendous for you

Good Morning Jo,

nods.. I am in total agreement on the banks thing. I actually went with My Mom's advice a long time ago and bank with a credit union. They tend to be a lot more friendly and they do not treat you as though you were a number. I do have a bank as well .. however, it is a small local bank.. not one of those big corporations. I hope you and scoote get things sorted soon.

Good Morning Kitcheneers,

Another hot day here.. I will be glad when Fall gets here (My favorite season).. and the temps are cooler. I can not believe that we are in August already.. time just flies. I can not believe that My nephew is going to be graduating in a year and a half.. I look at the photo album I have of him and look at his baby pics and can not believe he is all grown up and will be driving next year. I feel the same of My niece.. she will be going into 5th grade already. God, that makes Me feel old. laughs.

Here is some more and to add to Jo's.

I hope everyone has a peaceful start to the week..

Jake

I'm with you Jake. I bank with a credit union and love them...but the house is being short sold so we have to deal with their lender for approval...nightmare.

And oh yea on the niece and nephew thing....mine are now 18 and 22 and I still picture them as toddlers

morningstar55 · 08-02-2010, 02:24 PM

hey ya Kitchen dwellers.....
i belong to a credit union........ they are more personal with you then the bigger banks. which is nice..

08-02-2010, 04:28 PM

Good evening Kitcheneers, I hope everyone is well and had a grand weekend.

*leaves a 6 pack of San Miguel* and some lovely Copella juice

We had a wonderful weekend at the Hayride. It was a huge event with thousands upon thousands of folks attending. I forgot just how much I love Rock and Roll, it was brought up on Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran and Elvis, which is all too mainstream for some folks. I loved dancing along to the rockabilly bands, I've not danced like that for an eon. The burlesque dancer was rather enjoyable too as was the Freak Show tent (which wasn't quite a freak show, just a bit mad)

I got lucky, I had the pleasure of squiring two gorgeous girls

Incubus, Ingress and The Illustrator

Hey scoote,

That is good news as to the house being pulled from the market.. I feel for you... on the waiting and all of that.. just keep your eye on the prize.. and I am sending good thoughts and vibes to both of you..

It has been hot and muggy here for weeks.. and we have no end in sight.. we are supposed to have the hotness through this week.. with thunderstorms thrown in.. we most likely will not cool down here .. until late August.. early September.

I also know of the back pain as well. I had a disc herniate and had to have surgery for it. I waited 4 years though before I had it.. it finally got the point where I could not bend over and tie My shoes. The bad part is.. when it comes to back surgery.. they are never really sure if it will help. .or make it worse.. kind of scary when you think about it.. given they are messing with your spinal column.

I hope you are having a peaceful night.. and Jo is getting plenty of rest.

Zimmeh · 08-03-2010, 05:43 AM

Good Morning Jake,

Everytime I go into Bank of America to cash my roommate's rent check, they always ask me if I would like to open an account with them. I chuckle, since I had an account with them five years ago and they would let anyone withdraw money out of your account and I ended up closing mine. I went to SunTrust banks, which is just in Florida and Georgia. They are good and I have been with them for over four years now. The corporate banks don't give you that personal attention, they just want to get you in and out in under five minutes.

Hope you are having a good day,

Zimmy

I am sorry Jo Jo...I read Scoote's post about the house coming off of the market, so maybe DC is right, the bank is speeding things up..

Hope you had a good night,

When we looked for that before we found a grand total of 1 house that would let us rent and keep our critters...and that was with a $500 non-refundable deposit. Ouch.

I'm just kicking myself for believing what the realtor and the bank were saying...I knew better than to screw around with a short sale. Now we're possibly in the position of starting over from scratch. Sucks.

Zimmeh · 08-03-2010, 06:01 AM

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all are having a good start to your day. It got so hot in my house lastnight, that I woke up at 430am and I have been up since. Lisa is trying to save electricity, but what she doesn't realize, the longer that a/c unit is running to keep the house cool, the more it is going to cost her. I cannot wait to start college and meet new ppl.

I am thinking a light breakfast to start with this morning. How about some cold cereal, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, milk, sodas and juice?

Have fun!

Zimmy

JustJo · 08-03-2010, 06:50 AM

Good morning everyone

Coffee and tea is refreshed and I'm with you on the light breakfast Zimmy

I'm meeting a friend/co-worker for an early lunch at Ruby Tuesdays (love their salad bar) so don't want to eat anything heavy to start the day.

Scoote bundled me off to bed early, which was much needed. Thank you baby

...and I'm glad she came in and fed you all

We have our fingers crossed on the house...now if we could just get some straight answers from someone, anyone...that would be great. This whole "short sale" thing is a combined blessing and curse....crazy regulations and slow as molasses in winter, but also a nice house at a really good price. And Scoote is right, I do love this house...fireplace to curl up in front of on a winter evening, nice pool in a privacy fenced yard (skinny dipping yay!), beautiful kitchen, and a truly gigantic master bedroom for us. The kids would even have good sized bedrooms...so many houses we saw had great master bedrooms and then these tiny little boxes for the kids...not great for a pair of teenage boys.

The finger crossing for today though is mostly for Scoote's doctor appointment. I nagged her into going (cuz she needs to) and I'm hoping he can help get rid of her pain. I hear you Jake...I always worry about anything relating to the spine...just so easy to screw things up in a big way.

Okay I'm off to get some work done before my lunch "meeting"....she's a co-worker, although now on another team, so we can pretend we're working

Hope you all have a great day!

And

for you baby....hope it all goes well at the doctor

Good Morning Jake.....i dunno where u are,but sounds a lot like Florida....altho i dont think it cools down here till end of Sept or into Oct---hell its already 84 here and feels 90

They tell me surgery wont work..I hurt my back at work about 3 yrs ago--herniated one disc and bulged the other,which,when inflamed,pushes against my S1 nerve...does funky things to my back and legs...plus i have degenerative disc disease soooooo...

anyway gonna go finish my V-8 then go wash myself i reckon...should smell good for the strange man who will be pushing and possibly sticking needles in my back

hope everyone has a great day

and to you baby love you

Good Evening Everyone,

I am babysitting Elijah overnight. His mother went into early labor today and her stepdad is taking her to the hospital. She is not sure if the dr's are going to stop her contractions or let her go all of the way. If they do, her little boy Caleb will be born soon...

Dinner is light to! I am thinking of salads with assorted lunch meat, cheeses, veggies, dressings<organic and regular> and croutons.

Have a good night and I will let you all know if they let Lisa have her baby or make her wait another three weeks...

Zimmy

JustJo · 08-03-2010, 06:14 PM

Good evening all

I'm going to add some nice homemade mac & cheese to the salad selection, and a nice homemade apple pie for dessert.

Busy, productive day today for work and another one on tap for tomorrow. The son and I go to get our eyes checked tomorrow adn I know there are new glasses in store for him at least.

As it turns out we have a new asset manager working on our house purchase, and they're now saying we should have an answer by the end of the week or early next week. My fingers will be crossed until then...

Hope everyone had a great day

baby....

Hey scoote,

I am in upstate NY...and one would think given we are up north that we would less humidity... nothing could be further from the truth.. when it gets hot here.. it gets hot.. I slept with the a/c on last night which I rarely do because I am going to get "sticker shock" on the next electric bill. However, I refused to wake up in the middle of night with My skin feeling like it is on fire.. and My body temp runs warmer anyhow. It is easier for Me to warm up than cool down.

I had surgery in 07 on My L5 disc it was an L5-S1 discotomy. So essentially the same thing you have right now. The L5 disc herniated and was sitting right on top of the S1 nerve. I waited 4 years to have the surgery done because rarely is back surgery successful. I have to tell you though My back hurts alot less today than pre-surgery. However, it has not take all of the pain away. I think that is a given though. They never guarantee back surgery will be successful like they do other surgeries. It is always hit or miss. I have disc degeneration as well. I found that out last year. They did not find it initially when I had the surgery. But, for Me today it is definitely more manageable and not debilitating at all.

I hope you got some decent news today from your doc's appointment.

Good Evening Jo,

Well that is good news that you have a new asset manager working on the house. Hopefully they will get things moving a little quicker for you both. I will keep you in My thoughts.. and cross everything I got.. ummmm. .. except the legs..
